There has been an abundance of literature on how parenting styles and household structure might impact delinquency, but there has been limited research on its effects on adult criminal behavior. Studies have suggested parenting styles and family structure only matters during adolescence but has ignored the fact that parenting is dynamic and family structure plays apart in future criminal behavior through parenting. The study aims to address how family structure may influence parenting styles and how parenting styles might influence adult crime through using logistic regression models. Findings show family structure is statistically significant to parenting styles. Parenting styles are more significant to adolescent delinquency than adult crime because having an authoritarian mother in any family structure predicted adult violent, drug, and property crime. This study provides a basis for future research to the needs and challenges faced by families, as well as the effectiveness of different policy interventions when looking at adult crime, delinquency, and parenting practices.
